Description
Mustard cabbage (Brassica juncea) is a fast‑growing leafy vegetable with a spicy‑sharp flavor reminiscent of mustard and arugula. When young it is eaten raw in salads; when older it can be stir‑fried in a wok. It becomes especially aromatic in mild autumn cools.
Care instructions
Sow directly in the garden in spring (around week 15 of April) or preferably in late summer, as it bolts quickly under prolonged heat. Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage tender, mild leaves. Harvest young leaves singly or as a whole rosette. A protective netting can shield young plants from earth fleas in autumn.
